Editor's Style: Victoria Hoff's Humidity-Defying Dress

When I woke up this morning and realized that it was about 95% humidity, only a very lightweight cotton dress was going to fly. This one—which admittedly doubles as a great beach cover-up—is just the ticket, with bonus points for flowing dramatically in the summer breeze (or our office's AC). My inner hippie almost coerced me into pairing it with fringy sandals and a silky kimono top, but in the interest of not veering too beachy for the office, I decided to balance it out with this denim vest and some edgy boots. And milkmaid braids. (Because I never need a reason for milkmaid braids.)
